Monster In The Mirror

Haunted synth ballad with male vocals: sparse piano and distant violins set a fragile intro, then detuned pads and pulsing low synth build tension, Choruses swell with layered echoes and a wide, reverb-heavy vocal, strings scraping at the edges, Final section strips back to piano, ghostly harmony, and fading delay tails, violin, male vocals

[Verse 1] He lives in the crack of the bathroom tile Eyes in the faucet Breath in the drain He flinches at the shadow on the shower wall Heart runs first But his feet stay chained [Pre-Chorus] Light switch trembling in his claw He’s begging the dark to stay Because every time the bulb flicks on He sees his own face [Chorus] I’m the monster in the mirror And I’m scared of what I see Every tooth Every tremor Every bruise that looks like me I keep hiding from the hallway But I’m right behind the glass I’m the monster in the mirror Praying I don’t turn back [Verse 2] Hands like hooks But they shake They shake He covers up the corners Covers every frame Breath fogs up his prison into cloudy shapes He claws at the reflection But it claws the same [Pre-Chorus] He whispers his name like a curse It echoes and comes back changed If this is what he’s turning into What was he yesterday? [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] Don’t look up Don’t look up But he does And he’s already there Yellow eyes Stitched-up grin Both of them too aware “Who made you?” he asks the glass “Who made me?” it asks him back Two mouths moving out of time Both afraid to attack [echoed: “afraid to attack”] [Chorus]
